I’m currently exploring the development of a subscription-based pet nutrition brand and shortlisting partners for an initial Lean MVP phase. The objective of this phase is to validate the business model quickly and efficiently, using proven tools and minimizing development overhead, while keeping the setup scalable for future iterations. MVP Direction (High-Level) Platform • Preferably Shopify (or a similar SaaS-based platform) to avoid unnecessary custom backend development. Onboarding Quiz • A simple, logic-based quiz flow to guide users to the appropriate subscription plan. • Ideally implemented using existing solutions (e.g. Octane AI, Typeform, or native Shopify/Liquid-based flows), rather than fully custom quiz development. Subscription Logic • Recurring billing via established subscription tools (e.g. Recharge, Bold, or Shopify Subscriptions). • Focus on clear plan selection, easy management, and reliability, not advanced personalization at this stage. UX/UI • Clean, conversion-oriented, and mobile-first. • Emphasis on clarity and speed rather than complex animations or heavy custom UI work. What I’m Looking For From You • Confirmation that this Lean MVP approach fits within your typical scope • Your recommended tech stack for a fast, reliable launch • An estimated budget range and indicative timeline for this first phase At this stage, I’m not looking for a detailed technical specification or over-engineered solution. The priority is a focused MVP built with existing, well-supported tools. If the MVP performs as expected, there is strong potential for a long-term collaboration to iterate and expand the platform in later phases.
